Question 1: Self-Determination Theory

The answer is: competence, relatedness, and autonomy.

Explanation:

  • Competence, relatedness, and autonomy: These are the three basic psychological needs according to self-determination theory (SDT). Competence refers to feeling effective in one's activities, relatedness involves feeling connected to others, and autonomy is about having control over one's actions.
  • Conscientiousness, competence, and autonomy: Conscientiousness is a personality trait, not a basic need in SDT.
  • Openness, relatedness, and engagement/level of involvement in activities: Openness is a personality trait, and engagement is not one of the basic needs in SDT.
  • Motivation, flow, and social responsibility: These are not the basic needs in SDT. Motivation is a broader concept, flow is a state of immersion, and social responsibility is not part of SDT.

Question 5: Lykken and Tellegen's Measure

The answer is: a set point.

Explanation:

  • A set point: Lykken and Tellegen proposed the idea of a "set point" for happiness, suggesting that individuals have a baseline level of happiness that is relatively stable over time.
  • Eudaimonia: This refers to a concept of flourishing or living a life of virtue, not a measure of average happiness.
  • An evolutionary average: This is not a recognized term in the context of happiness.
  • A heritability index: This refers to the proportion of variance in a trait attributable to genetic factors, not specifically a measure of happiness.

Question 6: True Statement

The answer is: Spending money on experiences, such as a family vacation, is more likely to correlate with happiness than spending money on material goods such as a new car.

Explanation:

  • Spending money on experiences: Research suggests that experiences tend to bring more lasting happiness than material goods because they contribute to social connections and personal identity.
  • Wealthier people contributing a larger percentage of their income to charity: This is generally not true; wealthier individuals often contribute a smaller percentage of their income compared to less wealthy individuals.
  • Young people gaining more well-being from ordinary experiences: This is not typically supported by research, which often finds that extraordinary experiences can be more impactful.
  • Gazing at small amounts of money: This statement is not supported by research; money can sometimes distract from enjoyment of tasks.
